Oh yes, the Unblock mailing list has given me an interesting view on the
interaction between newbies and admins who regularly block users ('Wikipedia
says I was blocked for "user." What the heck is that and why I am being
blocked?' is a fairly common complaint, along with the usual autoblocks and
AOL collateral damage). I've also noted that most of us replying on the
Unblock mailing list have used "customer service" language to a high degree.
